Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 31, 2022, the Company announced the Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) under which the Company acquired a 50.10% equity interest in New Star Capital Trading Ltd., a British Virgin Island company (“New Star”) and its operating subsidiary NSFX Ltd (“NSFX”). NSFX is an online trading brokerage firm regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). The Company will assume a business acquisition loan liability of $350,000 to purchase the controlling interest in NSFX. The Company amended the Agreement to February 28, 2023, but not later than June 30, 2023, to comply with the BVI Companies Act requirement for the change of ownership. The Company expects to consolidate the fair value of NSFX’s assets and liabilities on or after February 28, 2023.

 

NSFX has furnished the Company with its audited balance sheet for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2021, and 2020 (the “Balance Sheet Date”). NSFX provided the related audited statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal years ending November 30, 2021, and 2020. NSFX has no liabilities other than (i) liabilities reflected in the financial statements and (ii) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since the balance sheet date. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is the auditor of NSFX.

 

NSFX is authorized to deal with its account (market maker) as a Category 3 licensed entity by the MFSA, receive and transmit orders for retail and professional clients, and hold and control clients’ money and assets. NSFX trading platform services in the English, French, German, Italian, and Arabic-speaking markets, whereby customers can trade in currency, commodity, equity, and cryptocurrency-linked derivatives in real time.

 

The Company has provided technical support and brokerage consulting to all NSFX trading infrastructure since August 2016.
